Files from the conference series, Feminism and Architecture, organized by Brian McGrath, dean of the School of Constructed Environments at Parsons School of Design, and held in 2014 and 2015 at The New School. The collection consists of an audio recording from the 2014 conference and presentation materials generated as part of the 2015 conference.

Parsons School of Design was established in 1896 and became affiliated with The New School as the university's art and design college in 1970. New School Archives staff assembled this collection of audiovisual materials, exhibition catalogs, posters, publications, student work, and other formats from departmental transfers and personal donations by Parsons School of Design faculty, students and administrative staff beginning in 2009.

Collection consists of student projects created as a final assignment for Professor Esther Choi's Advanced Research Seminar: Constructed Environments during the fall 2016 semester. All students were undergraduates in The New School's Parsons School of Design, primarily in architecture, interior design, and product design programs. The projects take the form of design manifestoes, combining text, images, and different forms of presentation.

The Master of the Arts in Liberal Arts: Architecture and Design Criticism graduate program began in 1986 and graduated its last student in 1997. The program was jointly administered by Parsons School of Design within the Environmental Design program (now the School of Constructed Environments), and the New School for Social Research’s Graduate Faculty. The collection contains eleven theses written by students who graduated between 1987 and 1995.
